I think that crank puller is one I put in for the last restart. It worked well for me for several years, but it was rather painful to remove bolts that were on good and tight. The handle isn't long enough to provide a lot of leverage, and I found the narrow handle kind of dug into my hand. This became a spare after I got a Park tool. YMMV...

i have a crank puller that you need a wrench for, i wanted to try this guy out, ive been meaning to get a nice park tool, maybe i won't have to now...

Yes, the Park tool requires a 15mm wrench. You can remove the handle from the Spin Doctor wrench, but as I recall, the resulting flats take an 8mm wrench. Unless you have an extremely well-stocked tool chest, it's unlikely that your 8mm box wrench will have even half the leverage of the original handle. :-)

That bell was one of the many things that I threw in there, glad it could go to good use. Rusty as hell, but it still went ding!

i hope all bci_mania got it.. it should be there already...if not today

I have received it but do not yet have pictures to post, I will get it in the mail on Saturday. I would have it done sooner but between work, kids going back to school and my own school work, I am one burnt piece of toast.

BTW Gordo, I really dig the blue Trek with the brown seat and bar tape you have at the link in your signature. Is that the '82 412? I really like the grey mountain bike and the Raleigh too but that blue Trek really looks great.

Hey guys I'm sorry about the delay, I have fallen on some hard times and won't be able to participate, so if you haven't already, go ahead and skip to the next person. Bummer, I have been waiting quite a while. Thanks guys, sorry for the inconvenience.

Bummer deal, macbethpoe - I'm sure I speak for all of us here when I say I hope things improve for you with a quickness
